The Unholy Commune of Bereza is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The democratic population of 44.695 billion Berezans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government is primarily concerned with Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lungrad. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Berezan economy, worth a remarkable 7,816 trillion Kopeikas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 174,883 Kopeikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers have seized control of the economy, there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, police officers catch up on their paperwork while handing their caseload to PIs, and turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bereza's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bereza is ranked 284,888^th in the world and 10,975^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -436.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
